Same for me...last year was my first. The guys and gals on this board were an invaluable help to my development.
Never be afraid to ask these experienced officials a question (no matter how dumb or nieve it might seem to you)....you'll find your answers here. You've already received some great advice to the question you asked in your post.
You'll learn just from reading other posts and the replies.
Two things I can tell you with certainty...(1) you'll never get "flammed" or embarassed by any of the long time veteran posters on this board. (2) you'll be a better official by the end of your first season spending time here and learning from a great group of officials and following their advice.
